Supervision in behavior analysis is the primary vehicle through which clinical competence, ethical reasoning, and professional identity are transmitted to the next generation of practitioners. When supervision fails to address cultural responsiveness, the consequences cascade through the entire service delivery system: supervisees develop blind spots around cultural factors, clients receive services that may not account for their cultural context, and the profession perpetuates patterns of exclusion that undermine its effectiveness and credibility.

Providing robust training on these topics remains important as our future generation of leaders leave their graduate programs without specific training related to the diverse populations they will encounter in the course of their careers. This presentation will provide practical ways supervisors can foster authentic relationships that are responsive to the needs and experiences of the supervisee. We will explore cultural "hotspots" and power dynamics within the supervisory context, promoting bidirectional feedback, and strategies for preventing and navigating conflict in ways that preserve trust and respect. Attendees will engage with practical tools for self-reflection, discussion prompts, and case scenarios designed to prepare them to support diverse supervisees in practicing with cultural competence. Participants will leave with actionable strategies to enhance supervisory relationships, ensure ethical alignment, and prepare the next generation of behavior analysts to provide equitable, culturally responsive services. Learning Objectives Attendees will identify key ethics codes and the rationale for providing culturally responsive supervision. Attendees will obtain the tools
